While some may like seeing Joey Votto walk, who wants to see Aaron Judge walk? Judge hit 52 home runs in 2017. That's been the case ever since Babe Ruth busted out his home run stick and belted 54 homers in 1920.

Bryce Harper leads in walks and homers so far in 2018. Who wants to see Bryce Harper walk?

Change the damn walk rule!

Here's a simple suggestion, since my radical ones from a decade ago went nowhere. Designate one batter in the lineup to get two bases per walk. That would make teams think twice about nibbling and trying to get Judge or Harper to chase bad pitches.

All base runners would advance accordingly. If Judge walked with the bases loaded, TWO runs would be forced in, not one.

In 1998, his first of three seasons managing Arizona, Buck Showalter had Barry Bonds intentionally walked with the bases loaded. And this was well before Bonds hit 73 home runs in 2001. Bonds may not even have been using PEDs yet. McGwire hit 70 homers and Sosa hit 66 homers in 1998 but this was still before June. Bonds hit 37 homers in 1998.
